Kishk (كشك)

Kishk is a traditional Middle Eastern dish featuring a blend of bulgur wheat and yogurt in a savory porridge-like consistency. Known for its warming and comforting qualities, it’s especially popular during colder months. The dish undergoes a unique fermentation process that infuses it with a tangy flavor. Topped with olive oil, fresh herbs, and a hint of sumac, kishk provides a delightful combination of textures and flavors that appeal to many tastes.
